Our Story

Our hotel was rebuilt from what used to be a convent, a convent which was still active and inhabited by the Franciscan Sisters of the Refuge at the very beginning of the 1900s until the late 20th century. That’s why, as an honor to them, all of our rooms have women’s names.

The Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) is a government institution in charge of preserving and protecting Mexico's cultural and historical heritage, which was responsible for supervising the remodeling of this building, since it has enormous historical value. All the rooms were remodeled using the same space they used to occupy, hence the reason for them being so different, with each one having its own theme, history, and style. Also, all of the rooms have beautiful Mexican handicrafts, and each one has something different to tell.

Why is it called PALPATIO? Besides the fact that it is a very common phrase here in Guadalajara, meaning “to the patio,” which comes from the Spanish phrase "vamos pal patio," the hotel is also equipped with 3 internal patios filled with colors, plants, walls, balconies, pillows, antique benches, umbrellas, and chairs, as well as an extra patio called “patio alto,” since it is precisely located on the property’s rooftop, which offers amazing views of the entire city and also serves as a place where social or business events can be held.

The hotel is equipped with a local food restaurant called “El Particular,” which perfectly combines with the name of the hotel, thanks to a children's song that goes “El patio de mi casa es Particular.” That’s the vibe we want to give with our patios: a place to rest, take a break, think, laugh, feel— a place where experiences are born.

Let’s go to Palpatio!
